I copped a euro R107 so il be back soon ha and Saab shocks also fit btw man

Got a question for all you w124 people...

I'm going to order a shorter shock for the rears. I have bilstein sports already and wondering what I should order instead so that my springs don't fall out.

I know a 95 ranger front shock should work,but what shock to get? Any help is appreciated. I could go cheap like monroes or go for the bilstiens.

Your making me miss my w124... Looking great dude. How's the ride w/out the pads btw? No noise?

I'm sad that you don't have yours anymore.

Surprisingly she rides fine. No noise so far. At least I don't hear anything extra over the sound of the rear shock. I need to get a shorter shock so I can go lower. Any ideas?

Put in the yellow fogs! Also had the spring pads removed and put on a 35 series tire instead.

Will go lower but I have to get new rear shocks. Otherwise my springs will pop out! 80

Camber arms coming soon. Going to dial it back in and make my wheels flush again.

Will see if these fit!

Moar low?? Or good enough??

12 hour day fiddling with my car! Lol

Fixed the diesel leak at the delivery valves, would have been easy except the previous owner/mechanic stripped one of the bolts. >=( scary drilling there... Best part was trying to get the motor to turn for 30 minutes. It was like trying to give CPR

After that we decided out with the original shocks and in with some brand spanking yellow bilstein sports! The ride is amazingly comfortable compared to the originals and the car doesn't skip on turns anymore.

Glad it's all over... For now.. Haha

Bags with the least amount of modifications to the car. Lol no holes or welds. It will be way way way down the line though. Just getting an idea

[MikeyRa]

What kind of info do you need for your bag setup? I got the info you need!

[chompsticks]

Cut cut cut or bags man! Depends on how I drive and the diesel gas I fill up. I range between 27-40 usually near 30 most of the time

Rad Merc Mane! I've been following your build, figuring out how to lower mine. BTW what kind of mileage do you get with the diesel?
